Epiphone FT-120 Excellente (1965)
The Epiphone FT-120 Excellente is a true “holy grail” acoustic for players and collectors, and this one has definitely been around the horn. At some point a pickup was installed, and the jack and control-knob holes were repaired back in the day using the best methods available at the time.
The Excellente was among the most expensive Gibson-produced guitars when new in the 1960s, designed as an ornate Gibson/Epiphone take on Martin’s pre-war herringbone D-28 style. They’re extremely rare, with total production stated as only 139 made from 1963–1969 and this is a first for us.
